Brief Synopsis

A young girl who ekes out a livelihood by selling cigarettes and cigars in a restaurant agrees to help Meredith, a wealthy young patron of the club, defend himself against a blackmailing scheme perpetrated by Mrs. Wilson and her husband. Although the cigarette girl loves Trot, a cabaret dancer, she agrees to a platonic marriage to Meredith in order to foil the blackmailers. With Meredith's funds transferred to his new wife, the Wilsons abandon their plans, and Meredith awakens to the fact that he has fallen in love with the cigarette girl. She returns Meredith's feelings when she discovers Trot's despicable nature, and her marriage becomes one of love.
